I had forgotten about it, but a while back, Stu asked for my mailing address.
Surprise, yesterday, this package came to the house from Japan.
Inside, and very well packed, were these nine pen blanks. Five are Red Keyaki, some labeled "Shrine wood" and four Blue Keyaki. Us turners, pen guys especially, love unusual woods.
I do thank you, Stu. These will be used and enjoyed. Just let me know what you would like to have that is available in the U.S. but not Japan. If I can, I'll send you some. Doesn't have to be pen blanks.
Thinking back, I have been fortunate to be involved in some very nice overseas trades. Have sent and received woods from various parts of Europe, Australia, our distant State of Hawaii, South America and places forgotten.
